m9k are not found in Arria V device

I see that in ALTERA device, Some device has M9K blocks and some have M10K blocks, but not both. Can I Know the reason? and why exactly M9K in Arria V, and why not M10K instead of M9K.

9 bits was always sold as 8 bits + parity. But Ive only ever used it for storage.

Extra bits are always helpful for sideband status bits through a fifo.

I just think more bits = more storage = more opportunity.
